Does bottled water go bad?

Answer by  Mac44 (479)

If bottled water is completely enclosed, then realistically, it will never go bad. Even tap water in the open air does not really go bad. What happens is there are minerals in the water and evaporation causes that mineral concentration to increase, thus causing a stale taste. Additionally, after time minerals can fall to the bottom of the container.

Yes it does, in fact it has an expiry date. Bottled, purified water still can contain small amounts of pathogens or bacteria. Place these bottles in areas conducive for bacteria to grow and you have a problem.
